Order

[The tenant/s] tenant/s] must pay [The tenant/s] landlords] $2,000.43 immediately.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $2,080.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) to [The tenant/s] landlords] immediately.
The amount to pay is calculated as follows: DescriptionLandlord Rent arrears to 26 August 2026$4,051.43 Filing fee reimbursement$29.00 Total award$4,080.43 Bond$2,080.00 Total payable by Tenant to Landlord$2,000.43

Reasons

Only the landlords attended the hearing. The tenant was phoned when she did not appear for the video conference. The call went to voicemail and a message was left.
The landlords have applied for rent arrears and has provided rent records which prove the amount owing.
The landlords gave the tenant a 90 day notice for the tenancy to end on 21 August 2026. As that date approached the landlord sent emails to the tenant checking that she would be vacating. The tenant had not wanted the tenancy to end. The tenant did not reply. The tenant did not arrange for the keys or the garage remote to be returned on 21 August. The landlords were advised by Tenancy Services to give the tenant a 48 hour notice to inspect the property in case she was still in possession. At the inspection on 26 August the landlord confirmed that the power had been disconnected, gas bottles had been removed and the premises was empty. There was a mattress left in the garage that was rubbish.
The tenants have requested rent beyond the 21 August. The merits and justice are that because the tenant kept the keys and garage door remote and did not confirm her departure from the property on 21 August, she should pay rent to 26 August, which was the date that the landlords were able to confirm that the tenant was not in possession. Filing fee
Because the landlords have been successful with the claim the filing fee of $29.00 is ordered to be paid by the tenant. Suppression
The landlords have applied for name suppression. Section 95A(1) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 provides that the Tribunal must, on the application of a party that has wholly or substantially succeeded in proceedings, order that the party’s name or identifying particulars not be published, unless the Tribunal considers that publication is in the public interest or is justified because of the party’s conduct or any other circumstances of the case.
The landlords have substantially succeeded with the claim and therefore name suppression is granted.
